Century plant's swan song
Agave americana blooming
Our century plant (Agave americana) began sending up a flower stalk in March. The stalk has grown to a height of at least 30 feet. The flower buds began to open on July 5. The species is monocarpic, which means that it blooms once and then dies. Follow the progress of the bloom on our A. americana page and on Facebook.
